@RockyMountainBriar it went well the profits Acually went to my wife for some charity her jobs holds. The hold a silent auction once a year for it and I sent a pipe there as well but there we're not many pipe smokers so it did not bring what it could have so I decided to do this as I could reach a larger audience.
Been away from the forum for a while but this remains one of my favorite threads. I just love the artistry. A pipe is such a simple object, but so is a block of marble.
@Corey562 Corey, I bought your pipe off EBAY, but if I'm not mistaken you said you don't do much selling there. Lately I've seen so many beautiful new pipes you've created but I don't know where they are offered for sale. I don't have a Facebook account, so if that's the only place you post them I don't see them. I was searching for a website under Abb's Artisan Pipes but can't find anything. Is there a place where I can locate your pipes, as well as the prices. There have been so many beauties - like nothing I've ever seen on sites like Pipes & Cigars. Guys like you and @mfresa, among other talented pipe makers here on the site are true artists.
@Corey562 - My gosh Corey that is a beautiful pipe. I could never achieve that kind of craftmanship. But this is the first pipe I ever made, and it smokes like a 3 foot salmon. Ole'Pops is proud as a peacock of it.
@mfresa - t's briar. The top was just as naked as it could possibly be. It's a nice chocolate brown now from skin oils. @Corey562 - you truly are a Master.
@OlePops I proudly own 5 of @Corey562 pipes, and I can say he is truly an artisan and a master. The mechanics of his creations cannot be improved on, which lends to an outstanding smoking experience...
@Corey562 - Man, I am speechless...(and that's F'n hard to do!) They are ALL so masterfully crafted it's insane! but the second and the third one I can't even believe. My head to the floor... fully bowed at the waist, sir you are indeed a Craftsman! A MASTER in your field. Now, come on in out of the field and get back to work. There's chiggers, ticks and nosee'ums out there. Make them pipes, Lil'brother.
You're killin' me @Corey562 😬 but keep those pics coming... My trigger finger is gettin' itchy so it may not be long before I pull the trigger for another one... 😏

How did the raffle work? What favorite charity were the proceeds for?

@Corey562 - I switched my "awesome" (above) for my first "genius."
